The heat from the hot springs on the top of the mountain is mixed with the cold mist on the top of the mountain, exuding a strange atmosphere of frost and fire closely intertwined - on one side is the gushing hot spring that is as hot as boiling water, on the other side is the frosty cool breeze. Looking at the rare mineral crystals condensed after the mountain people collected the hot springs in this hot and cold junction area, it feels like returning to the era of 500 years.

It’s just that the environment here is even worse. The temperature of the eddy and smoky hot spring is about the same as that of boiling water, and the mountain people will be covered in mist when they collect crystals; At a few degrees below, it will be dewy and quickly freeze.The whole person looks like he is working in an ice cellar, which is really uncomfortable.And crystals are actually very few.

On the contrary, in the fuzzy area between the boiling water and the frost, there are still a few green mosses and plants, and even animals such as toads and bugs can be seen living between the water mist.It's amazing: one wrong step for these tiny, fragile creatures, and they're scalded to death if they fall into hot springs, or freeze to death if they fall out of the heat.I really don't know how they survived from generation to generation under such extremely harsh conditions until today.

This uncomfortable environment made Xiandale feel uncomfortable too. When she said to the mountain people: "It's too difficult for you to live like this, so bitter. Why don't you just sign an agreement with us and live with free money. It's better than climbing the mountain every day. It’s much better to boil water while blowing cold wind.” As a result, more than a dozen mountain people just laughed and said, “It’s been like this since I was a child, and I’m used to it.” They didn’t feel bitter.

When Xiandel shook her head and couldn't figure it out, Dong Hezi behind her said: "Uncomfortable is uncomfortable, but pain is pain. When it is uncomfortable, it may not be very painful. But some people are not physically uncomfortable but they are very painful. These mountain people suffer more, but suffer less. It is relatively rare to use this to persuade them."

"What about the plan?" Xiandale asked back: "Those elders are also very stubborn, and they went to each of their homes to lobby five or six times, but nothing came of it. Ordinary people only respect elders and heads. .Is it all here now?" Dong Hezi said: "Let's spend it first, and it's not bad to see the customs and customs here. Hahaha~~~"

The mountain people were ready to go down the mountain after collecting the crystals, but on the side of the mountain, Ponuk was staring at the steep and vast valley in a daze, and even called him a few times, but he just responded with 'hmm'.Just not coming.Wait for Dong Hezi to go over and ask.Only then did he answer in a low voice: "In the valley~~~ there seems to be something affecting me. It seems to be a huge thing~~~"

Dong Hezi cast a spell of 'asking about the environment' and only saw some special signs of life: "Maybe it's an immature natural spirit, and it looks like it's not easy to communicate. Have you contacted it?" Bo Nu Ke shook his head: "There is no reaction, I just feel its presence. It is within five or six miles of this valley. But I don't know where it is."

Dong Hezi said: "Since there is no response, then let's go." Ponuk followed suit, but he didn't say anything - that secret existence could never be a natural spirit! !Because of that existence.The phantom energy directly affected Ponuk's bloodline.It can be felt that the other party also has blood, and has very profound characteristics. It seems that the development of Ponuk's blood has pointed out a direction!This direction is so clear that it completely surpasses Dong Hezi's vague guidance.

So, Ponuk kept this secret, and he was going to find that hidden existence by himself!

Fortunately, Dong Hezi didn't come to find trouble with him in the next few days, because his old man almost went to a dozen or so forest patrollers in the mountain people.These rangers are all learning the skills inherited from their ancestors, directly using the magic of nature, and do not believe in the goddess of the forest and the ranger, Mei Kaili.When Dong Hezi checked again, he found that more than half of them had learned the skills of druids, but they were all mixed with the skills of rangers.There are only three or four people who can really transform into animals, and they only have the most basic transformation ability, which is mostly used for hunting.At this level, they are considered elite among the mountain people.

"It's really a pity." One night he specially brought these three or four people here, and said to them: "If your talents and potentials are unearthed, you can become a character above the count in the outside world. It's a pity that there are no suitable people. Once the method is discovered, Lulu's life will end here."

"I heard that it's quite annoying outside." The voices of several people were so uniform that one wondered if the elders had given them the wind: "We are living a good life now. Very happy. I don’t want to fight with people. It’s too annoying.”

Dong Hezi said with a half-smile: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing, don't you hear that the portals are coming out frequently, and the trade routes have changed drastically? In marginal places like yours, trade routes will appear nearby soon. Don't you want to learn more skills? Even if you don't fight outsiders, at least in your tribe, your status will rise as your strength increases."

A few people are a little tempted, but Yiduo is not overwhelming.Immediately, 2 people agreed, while the other 2 people hesitated.When I came to class in the evening, there was only one person plus a few younger rangers.The ranger who promised during the day did not come because he was too tired.

"Then don't force it." Dong Hezi waved the dumb little girl to use the 'light technique' to light up the wooden stick on the roof, then opened the small clay pot next to it, and cast an unknown spell on it , the strong fragrance of flowers emerges from it, and it is also mixed with the aroma of special mosquito repellent herbs, which drives away mosquitoes and bugs around.But how many flowers and herbs do you need for such a clear aroma.

When they looked at the clay pot enviously, Dong Hezi said: "This is a spell to copy breath. It can use the first-level natural magic to copy the smell of animals and plants. There are calming flowers in this pot. There are also herbal medicines to drive away insects. Let you study here with peace of mind. If you learn it well, you will be able to make your home fragrant and keep mosquitoes away."

Everyone showed some interest, and after Dong Hezi explained the basic alchemy and new understanding of natural magic, the dumb little girl demonstrated two brand-new natural magic—air purification shield and plant growth promotion .After the former is cast, the whole body is protected by a layer of natural energy shield for three feet, even if a bowl of dust is sprinkled on the head.Once within three feet, it immediately falls to the ground like a gravel, it will not be sucked into the body, and it is difficult to even get much on the clothes: "This technique can repel water mist, smoke, and foreign objects in the air or make them quickly condense and fall to the ground. .Reduce the harm to people. If you go to the mountains again, you can also reduce the interference of ice, snow and fog. If you use this spell to protect your body every day, it will also have the effect of health preservation."

Although this thing is a little childish, it is more practical than the activation rope, burning hand and so on. Anyone who works on the mountain can basically use it.The second spell is more practical. After the dumb little girl took out a potted flower seedling, her light green sparkling spell made the seedling show obvious signs of growth.After three 5-minute boots.It has turned into a small plant, as if it had grown for a week or two.

"This is 'plant growth promotion'" Dong Hezi explained: "Although it is not possible to grow plants on an acre of land like 'plant growth', it can promote the growth of a single large tree or small and medium-sized plants in a small area. It's like they've been grown for a week in optimal conditions."

This spell was inexplicable, and several mountain people looked at each other in blank dismay.I couldn't help but ask: "This spell can't defend against enemies and it's not as good as 'plant growth'. Why do you want to learn this~~~" Seeing that Dong Hezi hurriedly explained: "I forgot to mention the important point-this spell is a first-level god. Everyone here can learn it, if there are jujube or fruit trees in front of the house, use them every day, and they can harvest fruits quickly. It can also increase production much more than usual."

The mountain people here are a little disappointed: "Although these skills are useful, they are better for ordinary people to use." The opposite Dong Hezi really said: "Yes, they are practical skills for ordinary people. For this level 1 spell, ordinary people only need to be careful. Most people can learn and practice. Learning is useful for life and production. If it can be promoted in your area, everyone will plant trees, every family will harvest fruits, or increase the production of herbal materials. One season can harvest a year The more output, the better life will be.”

This kind of far-sighted thing is not very attractive to ordinary people, and a practical problem is: low-level people can only talk about a few spells a day, and at most take care of a few trees. Do they live on the output of these trees? So it's still tasteless.They turned to ask: "Is there any magic spell that can be used more? It can make us stronger?" Dong Hezi said: "Today I only explain the basic and low-level spells. In the low-level spells~~~ there are A 'buggy arm' may be of use to everyone."

He directly cast a magic spell on a thin mountain man. The man's waist suddenly became thicker, his back and shoulder muscles became wider and thicker, especially his arms became nearly twice as thick, and he looked like a burly man who often beat people. : "This technique can adjust the physique according to the flesh and blood of the legs, so that the strength of the arms is about equal to half of the legs, and at the same time strengthen the strength of the waist. The effect is better than that of the giant enlargement technique, and it will not affect people's movement and flexibility. And The skin of the hands thickens and callsus, which is good for both labor and fighting."

For mountain people, this is also useful.Because people's upper limbs are weak, even hunters who exercise all the year round cannot reach half of the strength of their legs.This spell adjusts the physique, whether it is for transporting goods or fighting wild animals, it is useful, and it does not conflict with the "power of the bull".So they started to learn happily, and they were not even very interested in the miniature 'animal puppets' that Dong Hezi later brought out.

After they left, even Xiandel was a little surprised: "Why don't you teach useful spells? Just hand in some spells for work and life? This doesn't appeal to them much. Wouldn't it be better to give them spells against snake people? Dong Hezi replied calmly but slightly solemnly: "The skill of fighting is certainly good, but it is still inferior to arcane art. It is faster to learn arcane art just thinking about fighting. Fighting is not a druid's strong point. If Druids want to revive in the world, they must find a new position. Then they fight and fight, what are they fighting for? Isn’t it just the things that produce and live? Isn’t it for a better life? I’ll give them a better life first. A good life, when they face the danger of losing it, they know how to cherish it, and they tend to come to my side.”
